Devil’s Advent

Wang Qingmei's head was hung on the flagpole.

the city is broken,

he died;

Under the flagpole, there are several piles of human heads with hideous faces.

"My lord once said that Gan people, Chu people, the reason why we are called Yan barbarians is not because we are really culturally inferior to them."

"But what?" Tian Tian answered the words very caringly.

"Instead, in the past hundred years, we Yan people have always been strong. Because we are strong, we are barbarians. Just like in the Great Xia, the reason why the barbarians were called barbarians was because they entrenched in the northwest of Great Xia and threatened The safety of Daxia.

Only the strong can continuously create a brutal image, while the weak can only helplessly criticize. "

Chen Xianba clapped his hands, and a guard brought up a box.

Chen Xianba opened the box, and inside was the head of the previous courier, but some simple preliminary treatment had been done to prevent it from rotting.

The first level is a very good thing. There is no taboo against the first level in the army. Although the Jindong Army has long changed the old practice of using the first level to make military merits, try to make the distribution of military merits more reasonable, but Still can't change the soldier's love for the head.

Whether it's the enemy's or your own.

Chen Xianba put the head on a pile,

backed off,

commanded:

"Buried together."

"Here."

Chen Xianba closed his eyes, as if he was mourning silently, or adjusting his emotions.

"Father said that when he was ordered to be killed by my own father in Yupan City, he almost collapsed."

When he was young, Zheng Fan liked to hold Tiantian and talk about the past, and Tiantian's memory has always been very good.

Chen Xianba nodded and said: "So, this is what I admire the most all the time, the lord, the lord is very great."

"Yes." Tiantian never denied the greatness of his father.

"But the prince is not a god, the greatness of the prince is not blown out, nor created, but real.

It is also because of this that I am willing to stand behind the prince all the time, walk the path he walked, to reshape and reminisce about his glory.

Not two years after Yupan City's blood flowed into rivers, the prince once led the Xuehai Iron Cavalry into the snow field, and forcefully drove the savages into those castles so that my Yan army could take this opportunity to practice attacking the city. "

Chen Xianba twisted his neck,

"Actually, this is also my first time, Brother, do you feel any discomfort?

I have. "

"I don't."

Chen Xianba was slightly surprised when he heard this answer, but seeing Tian Tian's calm eyes, he smiled:

"My younger brother is more promising than my elder brother."

Shaking his head every day, he pointed at the pile of heads in front of him:

"I don't really feel anything for them."

Tiantian’s childhood was spent with Mowan, Shatuo Queshi, etc. His concepts of "life" and "death" are more direct and in-depth. He has the so-called moral principles, but he doesn't care .

"hehe."

Chen Xianba smiled, reached out and patted Tiantian's shoulder, then turned his head, and said to the soldiers behind him:

"In addition, pick out some more heads and send them to the surrounding towns to warn them that my army of 200,000 from Dayan has entered Chu, and the imperial army of Chu has been defeated, and Chu's death is imminent. The day is the day when my army slaughters the city!"

"Here!"

"Here!"

Chen Xianba walked to a water tank and began to wash his hands. While washing, he said to Tian Tian:

"Actually, slaughtering the city is the most effective means of deterrence. Of course, benevolence and righteousness are sometimes useful, but not here. For example, if the prince sends his troops to Yanjing City one day, benevolence and righteousness will be very useful.

As for Chu land, especially Sansuo County, which was almost abandoned by Chu state, if Chu people see blood, they will learn to become more obedient. "

"Brother Ba said so."

"You have been by the prince's side all the time, and you will only know more about these principles than I do. In fact, although I have been sending soldiers out for the past few years, I feel more and more that it is still the days when I stayed by the prince's side as a personal guard for a few years. maximum.

It's not the art of war, it's not cultivation, it's the truth. The few words that the prince sometimes utters casually may be the truth that others can hardly sum up in a lifetime. "

"I also feel the same way. Many things my father said can be thought-provoking."

"There is a very ridiculous rumor that when our Great Yan Emperor was still a down and out prince, it was because our prince spoke well that he was willing to make friends with the prince who was only a school captain at that time;

Moreover, he calls himself a younger brother and respects our prince as a brother. "

Tiantian nodded and agreed; "The emperor is my brother."

Immediately afterwards, Tiantian said again: "The prince is also my younger brother."

Chen Xianba laughed "haha\

,"Very recklessly said:

"That's a good relationship. The Tian family are all younger brothers."

In the Jindong Army, there is really nothing to shy away from saying these words.

"Brother, what shall we do next?"

"Continue to fight, continue to collect, and do not divide troops to garrison, just like this, every family knocks on the door and goes in to say hello.

It doesn't matter even if these cities passed by again and again after we left, and the Chu flag was raised again.

I still remember that when I followed the prince, Chuzhou City was beaten into it last time, and the second time I entered it, it was much smoother. "

Speaking of this metaphor, Chen Xianba looked at Tiantian with some scruples, and found that Tiantian didn't understand the meaning. Chen Xianba shook his head. Fortunately, this younger brother also had something he didn't understand.

...

After Xiawei County was destroyed, the auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands accounted for the majority of the army and began to move forward.

In less than a month's time, there were seven small county towns in Lianke, and two Fucheng, that is, slightly larger cities.

Basically, they were invincible and did not make any resistance. What's more, because the Yan army was a little tired from the journey and came late, the city guard took the initiative to go out of the city twenty miles to ask for surrender with representatives of the old nobles in the city.

The resistance of Xiawei County is a bloody warning;

And the county town that surrendered to open the city gate and was not looted or slaughtered was Dazao;

Under such circumstances, most of the local Chu people were still willing to surrender. It was nothing more than breaking some property and selling some cattle and sheep. Compared with the city being rushed into by soldiers, it was really a drop in the bucket.

As for Chen Xianba's team, the morale began to increase.

Unlike Tiantian who is a bit "young" and "dull" in some aspects, Chen Xianba has a very clear and flamboyant side of his personality.

When he first got him in the early years, Zheng Fan once said that he has the shadow of Tian Wujing;

It's a pity that people will change, grow up these years, because they really respect the prince too much, and gradually live themselves into the appearance of "Zheng Fan".

During the march, Chen Xianba occasionally asked Tiantian if his actions, words, and actions at certain times had the demeanor of a prince?

Of course I said yes every day.

But what Tiantian knows better is that the father in his impression is completely different in the army, in the eyes of outsiders, and at home.

It's just that when the blind men and the others helped to create gods for Zheng Fan, Tian Tian was still a little kid. After Tian Tian grew up, Zheng Fan had already adapted to his identity, and he didn't need to be deliberate, he could naturally show the aura of a real superior ;

Therefore, in Tiantian's view, this difference is a manifestation of his father's love for his family.

Outside, he is the majestic Regent, the patron saint of the army and people in Eastern Jin. At home, he is a kind and good father who is willing to play with the children.

I can only say that the older and younger brothers,

The perception of "Prince" is really too preconceived. In many aspects, it can be automatically brain-filled and beautified.

Auxiliary soldiers, marching all the way, "siege the city and conquer the territory" all the way, this military exploits are so impressive.

With morale alone, it is naturally impossible to become a real strong army, otherwise Gou Moli would not have lost so badly in the second battle of Wangjiang;

But if you don't even have morale, you can't even count as an army.

After the baptism of "great victories", the temperament of the auxiliary soldiers is also gradually changing. Coupled with the daily training and the necessary procedures every time they go to a city, this auxiliary soldier team, It is growing up rapidly, and it is beginning to look like a soldier.

in addition,

Chen Xianba did not embarrass those cities that voluntarily surrendered, nor did he disturb the local nobles and big families;

But actively asked them to submit;

This is actually what the smugglers in these places want, and it's not really "grabbing strong men".

For a while, many of the children of the local rich families brought their own dry food, armor and military equipment, etc., and took the initiative to work under Chen Xianba's tent.

The size of this group of people is now nearly 3,000, and many of them have their own horses;

At the same time, wherever the army goes, they are often the most active. They are the most vigorous in probing, persuading surrender, and even encountering a little resistance occasionally.

Chen Xianba even selected 18 children from rich families, broke the alcohol ban, and threw bowls and bows with them, but they were so moved.

Tian Tian did not join in the excitement, most of the time, he watched calmly;

And Chen Xianba is also aware of Tian Tian's character, so it's not difficult for him to "socialize" with him.

after all,

The status of the eldest son of the Prince Regent, if you put it here, be a little more noble, but it will be more useful to those people.

today,

After another city was destroyed without a fight, Chen Xianba took the "eighteen" righteous brothers to drink and celebrate together.

...

"have eaten?"

Chen Xianba walked behind Tiantian and asked.

"Hmm." Tiantian responded.

Chen Xianba sat down beside him. Originally, Chen Xianba thought Tiantian was sitting here looking at the moon, but after sitting down, he realized that what was drawn with branches under Tiantian's feet was a map.

"The guys earlier encouraged me to ask the prince for orders, let me guard the Sansuo County, ha ha."

"What do you think, Brother Ba?"

"In order to appease them first, of course I patted my chest and agreed. However, I don't think it's interesting. Building a thatched hut and being king and domineering may be a very good idea in the eyes of the powerful children in those places, but in those places I'm not worth mentioning here.

We are still young and have not reached the time to retire. "

"Yes."

"Why, what are you thinking about?"

"Brother Ba, have you noticed? It's been a little too smooth recently."

"Shouldn't it be right?" Chen Xianba asked back.

"It's too smooth, but it's not good." Tiantian frowned slightly, and continued, "In a few days, we will arrive at the location of Sansuo County's county city, and other small and medium-sized cities will surrender without a fight. How do you think it will be?"

Chen Xianba didn't take it seriously and said:

"What will happen? Isn't it sure that we are trapped here and try to gather and wipe them out?"

"Well……"

I froze there every day,

Originally, he was thinking, he was worried, he was thinking about all the words of the organization's remonstrance, but after Chen Xianba's words, he couldn't say them all at once.

Chen Xianba also picked up a branch and kept sketching around the map drawn by Tian Tian:

"Here, here, and here, hehe, and here, too."

This is the western half of Sansuo County, and they can only touch it after crossing the hurdle of the county town.

"According to our marching speed, it's almost the same." Chen Xianba coughed lightly, and continued, "Actually, from the earliest Xiawei County to the cities we destroyed later, there has always been a common problem.

According to them, first of all, the Royal Guards of the Chu Kingdom had withdrawn from here long ago. Without the support of the Royal Guards, the local military strength should have lost confidence early.

The city we passed through opened its gates and surrendered, but...the local garrison rarely saw it.

What they said was that the garrison troops just slipped away, abandoned their helmets and armor, and went to the people, fearing that they would be liquidated by us. This argument is actually quite tenable, really.

When the two countries are at war, the confrontation and confrontation between soldiers and horses often exceed the people of the opposing side.

But my brother, I only slaughtered half of Xiawei County. Next, I said that Qiu did not commit any crimes. After that, but at least it can be considered polite, so that those Chu people who were destroyed in the city will feel flattered, right?

That's it,

Those who are entrenched by my side, and those who come to seek refuge, are also the children of local tyrants.

The number of people, now, is quite a lot.

but,

The big clans in these places all know that after our army entered here, they came up early to hug their thighs to make them familiar, so that they can continue to thrive here in the future, and even get into the eyes of our palace.

Can,

Where's the soldier?

The local Dazu children, to put it bluntly, there are some young juniors with good skills in the family, and it is understandable to send them to the future of the new court.

But it is possible that those military chiefs don't know that if they turn their soldiers and horses to join them in a more organized way, what they can get is a better ladder?

When Dayan destroyed Jin, how many leaders of Jin's army changed, aren't they also generals in the army now?

Not to mention that there is Qu Peiluo in our palace as a movable type signboard.

not a single one,

just none,

None of the established local garrisons voted in. The whole **** was afraid of me like a tiger, and they all broke up and ran away?

Let's just put it this way,

Even if I slaughter the city, no matter how bad my reputation is, it will not be able to extinguish the desire of some people to take advantage of this east wind.

Especially in the last few cities, those guys have been asked to spy on me to persuade me to surrender, but the garrison still fled.

hehe. "

Chen Xianba took a deep breath, and pierced the branch in his hand directly into the soft ground:

"Brother, this is looking down on us, don't you think?"

Tian Tian nodded and said, "Yes."

"Come on, brother, tell me too."

"Brother, you're done talking."

"I'm sorry, but after a few days, when you arrive at the county seat, you can tell me in the commander's tent, okay?"

"Ah?" Tian Tian smiled, "Brother, no need."

Tiantian thought that Chen Xianba was taking care of his need to show off;

However,

"Oh, every time our lord discusses matters in the commander's tent, he always holds Zhi Zhu in his hands. General Liang and the others will speak first, and the lord will make the final decision.

so what,

Brother, I didn't want to say too much that day. "

"Okay, bro."

"Thank you brother."

"Brother, as long as you are happy."

Tiantian stretched out his hand and pulled out the branch that Chen Xianba had inserted into the ground before, saying:

"Brother, do you feel that this scene is very similar. A hundred years ago, the army of the Qian Kingdom made a northern expedition, conquering cities and conquering territory all the way, invincible."

"Well, it turned out that Dayan was strong and cleared the country at that time. In the end, when the Northern Expeditionary Army of Qian Kingdom was exhausted and civil strife was exhausted, the first generation Zhenbei Hou killed him with one blow. Therefore, the person dispatched by the Chu people in the county of Sansuo County was the first generation of Zhenbei. It's really interesting to be the Marquis of the North."

Tiantian said:

"Brother, what's more interesting, shouldn't it be the one who treats us as dry people?"

"Yes, yes, this is the most unbearable, it's unreasonable!"

...

On the city wall of Sansuo County,

A middle-aged man in a blue official robe and hat stood there, the wind was a bit strong, and kept blowing his long hair at the temples.

"My lord, are you really not leaving?"

"I am the prefect of Sansuo County, how can I leave."

"But according to His Majesty's will, I hope you will go. The mission of the humble position is also to escort you back to Yingdu, and to return to Your Majesty's side."

"Cui Du envoy can go back first and report to His Majesty."

"What about you? Master Xu?"

"Since there is something to be done, how can we not do it?" Xu Weichang smiled, "I have always disagreed with His Majesty's political views, in His Majesty's view, we can clean everything up and start over.

But in my opinion, His Majesty's idea is too good, Yan Ren, did not give us a chance.

for ten years,

First, there was Qu Tiannan's tragic song under Yupan City, the national war between Yan and Chu, and it was His Majesty who borrowed the knife of the Yan people to cut off the wings of the nobles.

Even Nian Yao gave away something unclear.

It's like on a chessboard, if you want to make a steady layout and shape the general trend, you have to see if the opponent will give you this chance.

And even if you just blindly chase and fight fiercely, every inch of land will be contested, and losing will usually not be too ugly.

Cui Dushi, look, it has been clearly found out that the main force of the Yan people is still on the front line of Moya County.

Although the imperial guards are not here, the county soldiers, government soldiers, and township soldiers in Sansuo County can count 30,000 together.

How can escape?

How can I run?

How can shrink? "

Xu Weichang spread out his hands, and bowed to the Fengchao internal guard, and Cui Dushi immediately stepped back.

"Dare to ask Cui Dushi to tell His Majesty after returning, the reason why my Great Chu has fallen into the present state;

The people of Chu would not dare to fight unless we, Your Majesty, please open your eyes to see how many great Chu kingdoms died in battle!

It's not that we Chu people are not good at fighting. Please listen to your majesty. On the banks of the Wangjiang River, in the land of Liang and Zhao, other Yan people also wailed miserably!

I am defeated by Chu Chu,

It's because His Majesty has a lot of thoughts, because His Majesty has mixed thoughts, and because His Majesty... always wants to save that hand to fix the world, but the world is about to be turned upside down.

I, Xu Weichang, ask for my life, and I hope your Majesty will think twice. "

Cui Dushi immediately shook his head and said, "I dare not pass on this word to your Majesty."

Immediately afterwards,

Cui Dushi took off his cloak, pressed down his saber,

road;

"We'll stay."

"real?"

"Actually, not only you can't figure it out, my lord, we can also be regarded as the old Fengchao internal guards, and I can't figure it out too. When will my big Chu Fengwei and his Qianguo Silver Armored Guard be inferior to the Yanren Secret Spy Division?

Unfortunately,

lose,

lose,

for ten years,

Always fucking lose!

I,

Enough is enough! "

………

"Click!"

On the city of Sansuo County, two figures from the state of Chu were mourning.

And at a distance of sixty miles,

Two very young generals stood facing each other.

They were arguing before, arguing who would lead the central army into the circle first, and who would lead the cavalry to maneuver around the periphery.

Everyone wants to compete for the job in the circle, because this is the most dangerous.

"Brother, why don't we fight?" Chen Xianba suggested.

"Not good." Shaking his head every day, "It's outrageous for us to have a fight, the commander and the deputy commander. If the commander-in-law knows, we won't be able to lead troops out again in the future."

"Too."

Chen Xianba was obviously the one who feared the prince the most, every time he moved Zheng Fan out every day, he was almost invincible against Chen Xianba.

"How about this, brother, let's find a stone, engrave two characters on the front and back, write the word 'heaven' on one side, and the word 'earth' on the other side, throw it up, the word for day, I will lead the Chinese army into the circle, otherwise, you come. "

"this……"

Chen Xianba really didn't want to grab credit this time, but he didn't want to put himself in danger every day.

"Brother, how about you to throw it?"

"good."

Chen Xianba immediately agreed, and added: "A word from a gentleman."

"A four-horse horse is hard to follow."

Chen Xianba felt that if he threw it himself, he would be stable. His realm was higher than Tiantian, he could control the energy and blood to be released invisible, and he could completely grasp the result without looking at the probability.

"Brother, wait a moment, I'll find a rock."

He lowered his head every day, his eyes wandering around,

"Hey, brother, look, this red stone is not bad, let's throw this one away."
